    Not the end of the world, is it. Stricter here in Asia.
    Face masks been mandatory for close to two months now.
    Military checkpoints on most big streets, all cars and bikes get stopped, same for pedestrians.
    Cannot get into a store without a temperature check and the paper stating your hour shopping hours. Stores also have maximum occupancy strictly followed so certain stores have 2-3 hour queues at times.
    Only one person per household can do the shopping.

    It got really bad during Good Friday for some, their shopping days for the week were reduced to 3 hours in that week.

    Yep, that's worse.

    Now pardon, it might get up bit messy down bellow (like journal) :

    Today, i was laughing by myself alone (inner conversation for ~1 hour), when walking down the streets of old town in Vilnius, because all of the small business are - re-opening.

    They started the first phase of ending quarantine.
    It was a good show, - but the game is over.


    It's very unusual situation tho , personally for me, an inner battle between sub-personalities inside :

    #1 - at the same time, one feels a small amount of disgust for others, because they couldn't see the real reason of this panic, (this is the intuition based, emotional side)

    #2 - while the rational/logical side, understands the benefits of having such a ,,vision''
    (seeing through bs in media and using it as advantage for buying opportunities).

    While, the good and evil fights inside the head, the winning strike against ego, comes from the feeling of - empathy.
    When i a look at those scared people, i kinda feel sad for them.

    Managed to find a cure to overcome the nasty ego side, that considers it self to be superior against others.

    Kids. Small kids, when i play with them, spend time together, i don't judge them as i judge adults.
    (now as im writing, it all makes sense, why that nasty ego action in my head, became much more active as of lately, - haven't seen my godson and goddaughter in few months)


    Also thought - if a real virus would begin, we should be doing quite well, because this was like a global training.



    Conclusion to myself :

    #1 - the show is over
    #2 - be thankful for it, because it was a great lesson
    #3 - spend more time with kids to keep your ego grounded (and the making of art, that helps too)

    Asked whether a lockdown would have prevented those deaths, Tegnell said it was a 'very difficult question to answer at this stage'.

    He only has to look at his neighbouring countries to see the real answer to that question.

    'We believe that we have an immunity level, if I remember rightly, somewhere between 15-20 per cent of the population in Stockholm,' he said.

    Does this guy actually think Stockholm could be at the same level of immunity as NYC (20%)

    Saying that Sweden had passed the peak of the epidemic a week ago

    I feel bad for Sweden, they have a CV denier as chief scientist:

    He wants to deny lockdowns have had any effect.

    He thinks high numbers of people are already immune without any hard proof (when anti body tests from around the world including the US show otherwise).

    Thinks the death rate is just 0.1% when it is clear that it is at least 5 times that.

    Its like the head CV scientist, Tegnell, in sweden is actually Turveyd from ET.

    There is a German study, search for Berlin virologist Christian Drosten. So far, in German only.

    When examining defense cells in pre-pandemic samples, the researchers had seen that 34 percent of the patients had reactive T cells that recognized certain parts of the new corona virus. This sort of reactivity can be expected when the disease is behind - however, these patients have had no contact with Sars-CoV-2. The fact that there were reactive T cells could be due to infections with human cold coronaviruses.

    It may close bars and restaurants That don t respect social distancing guidelines that s at least what I read in other news today.
    Plus it seems Sweden is testing more people, hence the number of new cases is not enough to check the virus progression.

  8. Not a surprising development. Only so long that a population can suffer such ignorance.

    "
    Here we´re training at home, without teammates, on wooden floor, my knees feel like they are going to give up soon. Dental and health treatments are all put on hold, including one for daughter that needs to take advantage of her growth window, which is stronger now that it will ever be - plus her articulations and feet are hurting more than ever now that she has to train on hard floor. "

    My right meniscus did give up yesterday, in pain and sleepless since then. Not gonna be able to play sports for a while it seems, especially that weight training, probably an easier option than Muay Thai in that condition, is not available, Walking normally seems improbable as well, see if that gets better. Still have to get kicked by daughter for her online training 6 days a week despite the pain. Hate that quarantine and and it s gonna get worse with the injury. How much harm the lockdowns gonna cause worldwide ?
